Vegans who whine and moan and stomp their feet and show cleavage and announce they couldn't possibly try that meat dish because they're vegans deserve to be sent home. Even if they sort of change their attitude about it during the contest.

Re: The Taste (ABC Tuesday 8 P.M.)

Tonight's challenges are vegetarian cooking ("Go Green"). I wonder if the mentors knew that was coming up next and if so whether that affected voting off Cassandra.

So far the attempts to make healthy dishes (like Audrey) have not done well because the mentors want everything succulent, dripping with fat. Vegetarian dishes can be very unhealthy. I'm curious whether those will be the ones to get the nods.

How can a professional cook just walk out of a challenge like that on national tv? Hubby thinks it may reflect all the bad stuff that has been broadcast about Nigella lately and how she treats her staff, but even so it was a suicidal move for Jacquelyn.

Did Jacquelyn open a beer when she left. When she went to the station behind her, I thought I heard a bottle being opened and she she left it looked like she grabbed a beer off the counter and then walked away. Weird.

I'm not sure what was in that bottle - but I do know that minutes earlier she said something to the effect that she wanted to do well so her little boy would be proud of her.

I don't care if Nigella was stressed/grumpy, this contestant had the opportunity to embrace one-on-one mentoring and she caved like a house of graham crackers!
